Yes, second world war promoted the process of decolonisation
Explanation:
The reason for decolonisation were
- Although world decolonization had already begun by the end of the WWII, the destruction that colonial rulers endured during this war made it more and more difficult to maintain colonial possessions away from their capital. After WWII European nations lacked the political support and wealth needed to suppress far-away revolts. Great Britain and France endured economic destruction after World War II, leaving them too fragile to maintain colonies overseas.
- They were unable oppose the new super-powers the Soviet Union' and the US' stand against colonialism. With the end of WWII a new global structure was established to the east against the west and the Soviet Union considered by the former colonial powers as a major military threat. The existing and old Western colonies had a strong, new ally with the military and political help of this emerging global force
- Strong pro-independence movements amongst colonies. While France attempted infamously to regain its territories before the war in what became known as French Indochina, its inglorious defeat by the Viet Minh served to shed light on the scale of the vulnerabilities of the former colonial force. The ability of anti-colonial militia in Africa , particularly in Angola and Mozambique, in fighting European colonialism increased dramatically as the Soviet Union rose in military and economic power over the subsequent decades.
